Ballet Music
I want to tell "L'oisau de feu" and "The Nutcracker".
L'oisau de feu
The first part
・Story
Phoenix appears. Phoenix begins to dance. Phoenix
is finally captured by the prince Ewan. The prince Ewan lets Phoenix go by
dancing this entreaty. 13 princesses put on magic show up. Free time of
princesses ends when daybreak approaches. It enters the castle gate of Kaschei.
The monster appears, and the prince Ewan is captured. The devil appears. Phoenix
appears. The monster is made to hear the baby-sitter song. After, Kaschei dies.
・Progressing of music
It starts from the rhythm by the pizzicato
of the percussion instrument and the cello. The horn symbolizes the prince
Ewan. The phrase of the oboe symbolizes the prince Ewan's appearance. The
subject of the dance of Phoenix appears to the woodwind. It divides into an
unstable melody, and the stringed instrument and the woodwind perform this
alternately. This composed three parts. The motif caused by the clarinet shows
the princesses' appearance. It is possible to hang, and the motif with an eerie
piccolo and flute is performed. In the scene of the death of Kaschei, it is
symbolized with the bassoon, the tympani, and cymbals. A cold melody is played
with the viola and the violin.
The second part
・Story
The castle and the magic of Kaschei
disappear. Knights made a stone revive.
・Progressing of music
The subject of the horn appears to the
tremolo of the stringed instrument. It is performed with all musical
instruments through the flute as the violin repeats this. The scene of the coda
is grandly performed with the trumpet, the trombone, and the tuba. Afterwards,
the finale is received with all musical instruments.
